Here’s the next page of my Diego Garcia comic – those of you new to the site, skip back using the previous posts on the toolbar to the right, or else visit the COMIX page to read the whole thing as a slideshow. Thanks for all your support, and remember to spread the word about the Chagossians’ struggle.
Beyond that, you can take steps from wherever you are in the world here – just follow the ‘How you can help’ link on the left toolbar.Donating aside, you can directly contact the relevant MPs who are defending the British government’s stance on the issue, as well as read their little back and forth in the House of Commons from back in 2004. If you’re a brit, it’s worth registering at theyworkforyou.com – it’s a free, easy way of keeping tabs on exactly what your local MP is doing for you. And if you’re American, then remember to support the Vote No on 1 campaign in Maine and help stop the ban on same-sex marriage that went through here in California last year.
As returning readers to the site will see, I’ve added some new widgets to let you share my comics far and wide to spread the word about topics like the US base on Diego Garcia and the Honduran coup. At the bottom of every post is a veritable plethora of links to facebook, twitter, email, you name it – so feel free to pass on the link. It also looks like I’ve found a home for the Diego Garcia comic outside the confines of this site. More details to come when it’s all official. For now, here’s p2 of 4.
Thanks to the Jan Oberg, Director of the Transnational Foundation for Peace and Future Research and Celia Whitaker of the Chagos Support Foundation for their support.
